Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid said: Once we were with Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Salman went to relieve himself, and when he came back we said: "Perform ablution; perhaps we may ask you about a verse of the Qur'an." He said: "Ask, for I will not touch the Qur'an, because none may touch it except the purified." Then we asked him about the Qur'an, and he recited some of it to us before performing ablution.
